Squirrel

About This Movie

So, 'Squirrel' is this odd blend of comedy and thriller that really plays into the absurdity of its premise. The couple getting lost in the woods adds a classic touch, but then you throw in this cult with their bizarre practices around crimson maple syrup—definitely an unusual angle. The pacing is a bit uneven, but it somehow works, pulling you between laugh-out-loud moments and genuine tension. There's a palpable atmosphere of dread mixed with dark humor, and the practical effects used for the syrup give it a unique visual flair. The performances feel raw, adding to the off-kilter vibe. It’s not your typical cult story; there’s something strangely refreshing about its take on desperation and survival.
